    Could someone give me more info about this Amp?

    They sell that one at audiocubes and I'm pretty sure they have some specs on it. You an check it out there. Someone even reviewed it.

    How do you switch: speakers/cans without reaching

    This is something I also want to do very easily without having to switch cables or something complicated like that. This in fact the main reason I still use my Marantz receiver as headphone amp and speaker amp from my soundcard. That way I can just leave my headphones plugged in (271 so when...

    Gravenhurst

    At first listen. I was dissapointed as I was a huge fan of their early work. However, their latest release is amazing. Once I gave it a chance and put behind their earlier more sparsely instrumented work. Amazing band and awesome evolution.

    Twee Folks

    Ahhh...yes, I did indeed forget that bit of information concerning Camera. Good call on that. And the other group I was thinking of was mentioned! Acid House Kings...been addicted to their latest for the past couple months. Very nice twee sound and the DVD that accompanies is a great addition.

    The Best of the Shoegazers

    Very cool that DarkAngel listed Starflyer 59. They never get the respect they deserve especially for being 11 albums into their career. A consistently powerful pop rock force to deal with. Although if you are looking for more shoegazey material definitely go for their older material (like Gold...

    anyone heard Devendra Banhart's new album?

    The thing is when you release a single album with 22 songs on it and 75 minutes of material it's going to be very tough to please everyone for the entire 75 minutes. That being said Devendra has released an amazing songs showcasing his knack for incredible pop songs encased within his 'folk'...

    Am I the only one who doesn't think Muse sounds like Radiohead?

    I knew that Absolution was an old release and that it had even been released a while ago in the States. I had a copy of it for over a year at least when they got big. What I was referring to was the fact that nearly overnight they started getting MASSIVE airplay. Word of mouth and strong touring...

    Am I the only one who doesn't think Muse sounds like Radiohead?

    You're not the only one. I never understood that either. It's like night and day either people never really listened to one or the other or think all bands with guitars sound the same. I agree with you that the lead of Muse has some similar vocal inflections as Yorke. But thats about it. Maybe...

    Anyone else into emo??

    Nearly all the bands mentioned here would not fall under the correct genre definiton of emo. Most bands mentioned in this thread so far would fall under pop rock if anything else. Now not to go into some long ardurous spiel but emo as a genre is based in hardcore from the mid eighties. Then just...

    Arcade Fire-- Funeral. A Modern Masterpiece?

    I remember receiving the single for Tunnels a few months before the album came out. I placed it on my turntable and was amazed right away. The song filled one of those empty places in my mind where songs I want to hear are found. It was the sound of something I had been looking for but had not...

    "Daft Punk is Playing at My House" LCD Soundsystem Not overdone like the rapture but very effective and booty shaking nonetheless.

    Help me make a "Best of Wilco" CD

    You must make sure to include at least one or two selections form the Mermaid Avenues. Always overlooked I think.
